Frozen Cod Price Questions
- What exactly is classified as frozen cod?
- Frozen cod refers to whole fish of species Gadus morhua, Gadus ogac, or Gadus macrocephalus that have been frozen after capture. It excludes fillets, fish meat of subheading 0304, and edible fish offal.
- How should frozen cod be stored to maintain quality?
- Frozen cod should be kept at temperatures at or below –18 °C throughout handling, transport, and storage. Maintaining a continuous cold chain prevents ice crystal growth and preserves texture and flavor.
- What processing steps are typical for frozen cod before it reaches the market?
- After capture, the fish are cleaned, graded, and rapidly frozen to lock in freshness. The frozen product is then packaged in moisture‑proof bags or boxes for distribution.
